Chapter 955 Test the Waters
"How would I know?!" Albert's sounded weary. "Kendall disappeared last night! No one can find him now!”
Back when Kenny was still in the Cole Gang, Albert had never had the chance to take the lead. He and Maverick were in similar situations, so they ended up well acquainted. Therefore, he didn't hide anything and explained the situation truthfully.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Of course, Albert believed there was nothing to conceal. The disappearance of the Lawson Group's eldest son was such a significant event that it would inevitably cause a stir.
Upon hearing Albert's words, Maverick froze. Kendall has indeed disappeared! No wonder this young man said that even Jonah couldn't find him! Maverick looked at Kingsley with a complex expression, even more puzzled about his identity.
How did he know this news before it was widely known? Could it be... that he was involved in Kendall's disappearance?! Yes! It must be! This young man never regarded the Lawson Family from the beginning, and there seems to be some resentment. If he kidnapped Kendall, everything would make sense!
The more Maverick thought about it, the more alarmed he became. This person dared to kidnap the eldest son of the Lawson Family amid their collaboration with Cole Gang. It was a bold move!
On the other end of the phone, Albert wondered, "What's up, Maverick? Why did you suddenly ask about Mr. Kendall?”
Maverick instantly felt a sense of conflict. If he revealed the current situation, it was very likely to locate Kendall and eam significant credit in front of Jarett. However, he hesitated. He couldn't quite figure out why Kingsley had asked him to make this call.
After a moment of contemplation, Maverick chuckled. "Ah, it's nothing. I have a relative who wants to work as security at Lawson Group and asked if I had any connections.”
Albert sighed at that. "Maverick, I'm not trying to criticize you, but at this crucial moment, don't worry about these trivial matters. Do you know—" Before Albert could finish his sentence, Maverick hung up the phone. His palms were already sweaty.
Seeing that Maverick didn't reveal anything, Kingsley nodded in approval.
The reason he had Maverick make the call was twofold. First, he wanted to intimidate Quintus, urging him to stay out of this matter ands hand aver River willingly. After all; he had Ae grudges with this production crew wand didn't want to deakwith them. The second reason-was to gauge Maverick's character.

uéh a situation unfold. Therefore,
S initial plan was to uséRayden to provide support from within the Cole Gang. But Rayden was a lone force, and having someone from within the gang helping him would be much more effective.
Just a moment ago, Kingsley had found a candidate. He admired Maverick’s filial piety and believed he was someone worth employing. That was why he had Maverick make this call. to test the waters.
Of course, ifMaverick had directly reported £0 Jarett, claiming to have found the person who kidnapped Kendall, Kingsley would immediately give-up on this idea. Fortunately, Maverick didn't disappoint. him.
After hanging up the phone, Robert immediately asked, "What exactly are you guys up to? Mr. Towry and Mr. Zarnell are busy people: they don't have time for your cryptic games!"
Maverick took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I've already asked the chief strategist of Cole Gang. Mr. Kendall disappeared last night... No one can reach him!"
"What?!"
